5 Skydiving Spots in the Philippines

Centuries ago, if you told people you were going to leap off a plane thousands of feet above the ground, they would think you’re mad or suicidal. Now, well… some people might still think you’re insane, but if you do it right, you’re definitely going to get a ticket to the cool kids’ club.

The truth is, skydiving or parachuting is something that everyone can do. If you’re a first-timer, of course, you’ll be doing it with an expert strapped to your back. This expert is going to do all the tough work while you either scream for mom or live it up and enjoy the fall. That’s called tandem diving. If you’re not an expert but trained and brave enough to fly alone, then you can do the static-line dive wherein you jump off the plane by yourself while the parachute is automatically opened for you using a “static line” that’s connected to the aircraft. Easy-peasy?

In the Philippines, there are a few places around the country where you can enjoy skydiving. The best time to seek out this thrilling sport is from November to June when the weather is generally good. If you’re an adrenaline junkie or an acrophobic who has finally had it, here are some of the best skydiving spots and skydiving centers to get you started!
